Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Place chicken skin-side down and sear without moving until skin is golden brown, ~7 minutes.
Step 3
Flip chicken over. Whisk honey, soy sauce, fish sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl, then pour over the chicken.
Step 4
Add butter to the pan and baste chicken with the sauce. Cook for 8 more minutes until glaze is sticky and chicken reaches 165°F at the thickest part.
Step 5
Arrange lettuce on a plate. Top with chicken and spoon all pan sauce and caramelized bits over the top.
